It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Erykah Badu on the red carpet. But, she came back with quite the stylistically progressive vengeance at the 2018 Soul Train Awards on Saturday (November 17) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Although she later took to the stage to perform, the 2018 Legend Award winner started the performance early with this radical Rick Owens Spring 2019 ensemble that fully upheld the entertainer’s affection for all things over-the-top.

There was something ever so stylistically sinister about this extravagant power look, where the laser-cut cage robe and metal scaffolding of the headpiece also took on a rebellious regal tone for the reigning Queen E.B.

More than anything, it was a fascinating artistic statement — no matter which way you slice it.

Kim Kardashian West, Mary J. Blige, Rachel Brosnahan, Priyanka Chopra, and Zoe Kravitz were on hand to help Tiffany & Co. Celebrate the 2018 Tiffany Blue Book Collection on Tuesday (October 9) in New York City.

Kim Kardashian West: As always, I’m getting a strong case of déjà vu. She may not have worn this Rick Owens draped dress before, but this entire look, right down to the Pocahontas hair feels familiar. A Tiffany & Co. choker completed her look.

Mary J. Blige: The Queen of R&B was back wearing a green Cushnie Spring 2019 jade off-shoulder two-piece attached with some fringed netting. Not only did she match her shoes to her dress, but she also matched the look with emerald jewels for a truly glamorous look.

Rachel Brosnahan: It’s not often Rachel opts for bright colours, so I was instantly drawn to her in this Carolina Herrera Resort 2019 gown. However, I wasn’t so taken with the Tiffany & Co. necklace here, as I feel like the floral embroidery provides all the detail this look needed.

Kim Kardashian was joined by her Akris-clad mother Kris Jenner, at the BoF West Summit on Monday (June 18) in Century City, California, before joining her makeup artist and co-collaborator, Mario Dedivanovic for her first-ever KKW Beauty and Fragrance pop-up opening.

Reality star and KKW Beauty founder Kim Kardashian, stepped out for the 2018 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday (June 4) at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, where she received the ceremony’s first-ever Influencer Award.

I was surprised to learn that her Rick Owens two-piece look was custom, mostly because it had so many fit issues.

The most glaring was the apparent knot under her left boob. The ruching on the hips didn’t work for me as it gave the appearance of the skirt being too small. I also didn’t like way the fabric pulled on the top and around the thighs.
